A League Cup championship is no longer enough to satisfy Su Yun's growing appetite. If it was just to win a League Cup championship, Su Yun would not jump to Chelsea. Su Yun is thinking about a higher goal now.
.Every time he thinks of honors such as the league championship, UEFA Cup championship, and Champions League championship, Su Yun trembles all over. Only by winning these honors can he enter the ranks of famous coaches.
When a small club was in a small club, something like the League Cup championship was still an honor that could be achieved.
But now it's Chelsea.
It is impossible to win a championship like the League Cup champion.
No one in European football will recognize the League Cup winner.
But looking at the celebrating Chelsea players and fans, Su Yun was also very satisfied. Listening to the cheers, Su Yun knew that although the League Cup champion was small, Chelsea fans were not too small.
Su Yun did not participate in the crazy celebration.
Just watching the fans and players celebrate.
Chelsea players were happier than Su Yun imagined.
Eto'o didn't feel tired at all even from the end of the game. He kept running around the pitch and kept doing his dance in front of the Chelsea fans.
Even though Eto'o has a very flamboyant personality.
But Chelsea fans like Eto'o very much.
As a black player, Eto'o is very popular among Chelsea fans.
The British themselves are very introverted.
But they like players like Eto'o.
Before every game, Eto'o has a big mouth. The fans who follow Eto'o on the Internet and boo him are one team after another.
They all like Eto'o's flamboyance.
This confidence infects them.
Especially for a rising team like Chelsea, they need players like this.
So when they saw Eto'o, they really cheered.
Eto'o is like the boss on the field.
Standing in front of the fans with open arms and accepting the cheers of the fans. Among the entire Chelsea players, there is no one as flamboyant as Eto'o.
There is nothing that Eto Osuyun can do.
And Su Yun sometimes needs players like Eto'o.
Su Yun must maintain his grace in front of the media.
There are some things that are difficult for Su Yun to say, but Eto'o can say them for Su Yun.
Although he is a small champion, he is still a champion.
If it were Sunderland, the club might celebrate grandly.
But this is Chelsea.
Although this is the first championship that Chelsea has won in three years, it is impossible for Chelsea to really value the League Cup championship. Nor will they celebrate a League Cup championship. Not only because of Chelsea’s face, but also because it is still the season
Mid-term.
There are still a lot of games during this time period.
The next game is just a week later.
So Chelsea simply celebrated within the team.
However, this can be regarded as the third championship that Su Yun has won in British football1. Su Yun has another championship honor in his coaching career.
Like Su Yun, a League Cup championship is no longer a big deal in the hearts of Chinese fans.
With more and more reports on English football in recent years, the Premier League has become more and more familiar among Chinese fans. They all know the status of the League Cup. And Su Yun has already won it when he was at Sunderland.
League Cup winner and FA Cup winner.
For them, since Su Yun has switched jobs to Chelsea, it should of course be for a higher goal.
Therefore, when Su Yun won the League Cup, everyone's reaction was not as exciting as before.
Of course, this is only compared to the grand occasion back then.
However, Su Yun's status as the number one player in Chinese football is becoming more and more stable.
"Brother, please don't make any other arrangements these two days."
After the simple celebration, Su Yun had a rare break. Unexpectedly, he received a call from **.
"What, what happened?"
After hearing what ** said, Su Yun didn't know what happened.
"It's nothing big. But the Football Association's delegation is going to England for inspection recently. They contacted me and hope to meet you too."
"Football Association delegation?"
Su Yun was stunned.
Su Yun has not interacted with the Chinese Football Association for many years. When he was working in Chinese football, Su Yun had contact with many leaders of the Football Association. Of course, because Su Yun is not an important figure, he is just
I saw several national team coaches chatting with them from a distance.
Since leaving China, Su Yun has had almost no interaction with the Chinese Football Association.
There was only one argument in the newspaper with a representative of the Football Association.
"Yes. Brother. The leader of their delegation is Zhang Jilong. You should know him. He wants to meet you when he is in the UK."
"Well, okay. I don't have any plans recently."
Su Yun nodded on the other end of the phone.
Zhang Jilong is very familiar with Su Yun.
I think back when Su Yun was working as a translator for the national team, Zhang Jilong had just worked for the Chinese Sports Commission for a short time. He was doing foreign affairs work in the International Department of the National Sports Commission. Therefore, the two were old acquaintances. At that time, Zhang Jilong was not that big in the National Sports Commission.
Important. Same as Su Yun.
But even at that time, Zhang Jilong was very popular.
He is very good at talking.
He also has a very strong ability to handle affairs. Although he joined the National Sports Commission not long ago, he was already a key member of the foreign affairs team. He even had a good relationship with some national team members.
At that time, some senior members of the national team were not very different in age from Zhang Jilong, and they all called him "Brother Long". This also shows his level of dealing with people.
Later, Su Yun moved step by step from the National Youth Team, the National Youth Team, the National Team, and then to the local team.
Finally became the head coach of Division B.
And Zhang Jilong was also promoted step by step in the National Sports Commission.
Today, Su Yun has become a flag in Chinese football and the most popular head coach in Chinese football. Zhang Jilong has also become a powerful figure in the Chinese Football Association and has become the vice chairman of the Chinese Football Association.
The two people who were there years ago now have their own status in their respective positions.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Jilong led the delegation.
But yes.
Zhang Jilong is still in charge of foreign affairs at the Chinese Football Association.
They are also considered old friends.
…………
"Haha, Su Yun. It's been a long time since we last met."
Zhang Jilong is forty-nine this year, not yet fifty. Perhaps because he has been in a high position for a long time, he has become more charming than when Su Yun first met him more than ten years ago.
Really charming.
"It's been more than six years."
Su Yun also answered with a smile.
Although the two knew each other more than ten years ago, Su Yun later followed his mentor to the local team. After playing for many years and relying on family connections, he became a head coach of Class A B. At that time, Zhang Jilong was
He skyrocketed and became a heavyweight in the National Sports Commission.
Of course there will be no contact with Su Yun.
One is a senior official of the Sports Commission and the other is a head coach who works in League A and B. How could they still be in contact?
If Su Yun hadn't made a fool of himself again now, Su Yun and Zhang Jilong would have been on a completely parallel path.
More than six years later, we met again.
Then Zhang Jilong introduced Su Yun to the Football Association delegation that came with him. Many of them were middle-level cadres of the Football Association. Su Yun greeted them very kindly, and they also smiled at Su Yun.
If they were domestic head coaches, these people would have a different attitude.
The Football Association is the least powerful department in China.
But in Chinese football, it is the emperor. It can be said that the power of the Football Association in Chinese football is quite great.
It's a pity that Su Yun's current results are too dazzling.
Moreover, Su Yun is fighting abroad now. He has no connection with the Chinese Football Association at all, so he is not under their jurisdiction. Don't underestimate these Football Association officials. They may not understand football. But when it comes to dealing with interpersonal relationships, they are not
He is a man who has been through battle for a long time.
The three Su Yuns tied together are no match for them.
So they will never be rude in front of others.
At first, the two just reminisced about the past.
I recall how we struggled when the two of us were just running errands.
At this point you can see the ability of Chinese officials. They were all sitting at the bottom of the table. When Zhang Jilong and Su Yun were talking, they knew when to be silent, when to laugh, and when to interrupt. They did it very beautifully.
Su Yun really understood it.
At the right time, their laughter and interruptions can heighten the atmosphere.
These are the deep-fried dough sticks of long-standing officialdom.
"By the way, I heard that league promotion and relegation have been canceled this season."
When the atmosphere was at its hottest, Su Yun asked Zhang Jilong a question that he had been holding back for a long time.
**I heard Su Yun’s question from the side and I really wanted to go up and cover Su Yun’s mouth. 1. What is the Football Association doing in the country and what is it about Su Yun? I said hello to the officials of the Chinese Football Association and everyone left with a haha.
Anyway, these will not affect Su Yun's popularity.
Why ask this kind of question?
Su Yun is a coach and is very busy every day. But he has to collect information at home and abroad, so after the promotion and relegation is stopped, there are many different opinions in China. There are even different opinions within the Chinese Football Association.
Sound.
Su Yun's words really made Zhang Jilong stunned.
But it was just for a moment. Who is Zhang Jilong?
Zhang Jilong's smile didn't stop at all.
"Well, Su Yun, you know it too." Zhang Jilong really didn't expect that Su Yun would ask this question on such an occasion. "Isn't this the World Cup again next year? This year we are going to compete in the World Cup. We should give those who have contributed
The national football club has a stable environment.”
"But……"
Su Yun wants to say that football is not a one-and-done deal.
But seeing what Su Yun wanted to say, Zhang Jilong waved his hand and continued: "And we are also reflecting on the development of the Chinese League in recent years. Because of the threat of relegation, all clubs are desperately buying people and expanding their lineups.
Instead of focusing on their own youth training. So now clubs are competing for financial resources and then buying foreign players. This is their pace. We are ready to give these clubs time to breathe. There will be less threat of relegation. Then let them pay more attention to their own construction.
.Allow the team to continue to improve, and also allow our league to develop healthily."
Zhang Jilong is very eloquent.
Even Su Yun was almost convinced by him. (To be continued...)
